Sweet-and-Sour chicken

I made this for my bf a while ago, and he loved it! ^^

 

What you need

12 oz chicken breast

Salt

1 tbsp Chinese rice wine

2 tbsp flour

1 egg

Oil for deep frying

 

For the sauce

1 tbsp veggie oil

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 red chili, cut into fine strips

1 tbsp light soy sauce

2 tbsp light brown sugar

2-3 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp tomato paste

½ cup water

 

How to

Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes. Add salt and rice wine then marinate for half an hour. Dust the chicken with flour, dip in the beaten egg then coat with more flour. Heat the oil, deep-fry the chicken for about 5 minutes or until it’s golden or cooked.

To make the sauce, heat the veggie oil, add garlic, bell pepper and chili. Stir-fry for half a minute then add soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, tomato paste and water. Bring to boil, then add the chicken. Stir to mix, then serve.
